The increase in personal income in February primarily reflected increases in wages and salaries and
nonfarm proprietors’ income (table 3).
The $1.4 billion increase in real PCE in February reflected an increase of $1.0 billion in spending for
goods and a $0.5 billion increase in spending for services (table 7). Within goods, recreational goods and
vehicles was the leading contributor to the increase. Within services, financial services and insurance
was the leading contributor to the increase. Detailed information on monthly real PCE spending can be
found in Table 2.3.6U.
Personal outlays increased $27.8 billion in February (table 3). Personal saving was $497.4 billion in
February and the personal saving rate, personal saving as a percentage of disposable personal income,
was 3.4 percent (table 1).
2017 Personal Income and Outlays
Personal income (table 6) increased 3.1 percent in 2017 (that is, from the 2016 annual level to the 2017
annual level), compared with an increase of 2.4 percent in 2016. DPI increased 2.9 percent in 2017
compared with an increase of 2.6 percent in 2016. In 2017, PCE increased 4.5 percent, compared with
an increase of 4.0 percent in 2016.
Real DPI increased 1.2 percent in 2017, compared with an increase of 1.4 percent in 2016. Real PCE
(table 8) increased 2.8 percent, compared with an increase of 2.7 percent in 2016.
Updates to Personal Income and Outlays
Estimates have been updated for October through January. The percent change from the preceding

Statistical conventions
Annual rates. Monthly and quarterly values are expressed
at seasonally-adjusted annual rates (SAAR). Dollar changes
are calculated as the difference between these SAAR
values. For detail, see the FAQ “Why does BEA publish
estimates at annual rates?”
Month-to-month percent changes are calculated from
unrounded data and are not annualized.
Quarter-to-quarter percent changes are calculated from
unrounded data and are displayed at annual rates. For
detail, see the FAQ “How is average annual growth
calculated?”

Disposable personal income is the income available to
persons for spending or saving. It is equal to personal
income less personal current taxes.

Quantities and prices. Quantities, or “real” volume
measures, and prices are expressed as index numbers with
a specified reference year equal to 100 (currently 2009).
Quantity and price indexes are calculated using a Fisherchained weighted formula that incorporates weights from
two adjacent periods (quarters for quarterly data and
annuals for annual data). “Real” dollar series are calculated
by multiplying the published quantity index by the current
dollar value in the reference year (2009) and then dividing
by 100. Percent changes calculated from real quantity
indexes and chained-dollar levels are conceptually the
same; any differences are due to rounding.

Personal consumption expenditures (PCE) is the value of
the goods and services purchased by, or on the behalf of,
“persons” who reside in the United States.

Chained-dollar values are not additive because the
relative weights for a given period differ from those of the
reference year.

Personal income is the income received by, or on behalf of,
all persons from all sources: from participation as laborers
in production, from owning a home or business, from the
ownership of financial assets, and from government and
business in the form of transfers. It includes income from
domestic sources as well as the rest of world. It does not
include realized or unrealized capital gains or losses.

Personal outlays is the sum of PCE, personal interest
payments, and personal current transfer payments.
Personal saving is personal income less personal outlays
and personal current taxes.
The personal saving rate is personal saving as a percentage
of disposable personal income.
Current-dollar estimates are valued in the prices of the
period when the transactions occurred—that is, at “market
value.” Also referred to as “nominal estimates” or as
“current-price estimates.”
Real values are inflation-adjusted estimates—that is,
estimates that exclude the effects of price changes.
